[ID 20010723.004] make install needs write permission in builddirectory
Message ID:

This is a bug report for perl from abigail@foad.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.33 running under perl v5.7.2.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

Some time ago, I reported that 'make install' needs write permission to
certain files/directories. This makes it harder to do the installation
under a different id that the actual building and testing. This problem
was fixed after I reported it.

Unfortunally, the problem has cropped up again in 5.7.2. Write permission
is needed in the build directory, the lib subdirectory and to the file
lib/Config.pm.

If would be nice if the previous situation could be restored.
